From the Tribune staff reports
LEEDS – The Drive Out ALS Cruise-In event is happening at The Outlet Shops of Grand River on Saturday, May 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event is being hosted by Miss UAB 2023, Emma Terry.
“I am thrilled to announce that I am partnering with The Outlet Shops of Grand River in Leeds to host the Drive Out ALS Cruise In. It has been such a rewarding experience to organize this event and see how it impacts the ALS community. It is also special to me because my Grandy loved participating in car shows and cruise ins before ALS. In fact, I went with him to his last World of Wheels where he showed his award winning 1963 Chevy Impala Super Sport. This is just another way for me to honor him and his ongoing fight against this terrible disease,” said Terry.
Terry coordinates this car show each year to benefit her Alabama ALS Association Community of Hope Fund – Steps for Stewart: Stomping Out ALS. This is a tribute fund to help the Alabama ALS Association and honor her grandfather. The ALS Association uses these funds to purchase things like equipment and supplies for patients and their families.
The cruise-in will be held in the front parking lot of The Outlet Shops of Grand River.
Attendance is free and $10 entry fee per car to benefit Alabama Chapter of the ALS Association.
